She was overawed when Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg were joined by a hologram of Tupac at the weekend.

And Rihanna paid her own, small tribute to the late rap star at Coachella when she had 'Thug Life' scribbled across her midriff.

The 25-year-old singer tweeted a pictured of herself, joined by Snoop and Warren G with the words written in marker pen on her stomach.

She also had a large roll up in her mouth, which was possibly an imitation joint.

Her outfit was comprised a Chanel jacket, a pair of denim shorts covered in studs, a cropped vest with 'Peace' emblazoned across the front and a pair of wayfarer shades.

The words on Rihanna's stomach were in honour of Tupac Shakur, who was 'resurrected' by way of an impressive hologram stunt at Coachella over the weekend.

She also tweeted a photo of her hands with the very same words written across the knuckles earlier this year.

Rap star Tupac, who was shot and killed in September 1996, famously had the words tattooed across his stomach.

Rihanna appeared to have the time of her life at Coachella, particularly Dre and Snoop's performance which enlisted the aid of hologram technology to include Tupac in the spectacle.

She tweeted her excitement after the amazing show.

The pop superstar wrote: '#TupacBACK #unbelievable #IWASTHERE #STORY4myGrandKidz'

And later added: 'This turned out to be one of the best nights of my life #BuffaloSoldier #ThugLife #EPIC.'

Meanwhile, the singer has posted a still from her upcoming video Where Have You Been, which was produced by Harris.
